Abstract: Outlines a comprehensive development strategy for Yap International Airport. The plan includes goals to enhance operational safety, ensure environmental compatibility, and align airport development with community and regional objectives. It emphasizes active community involvement and coordination with various governmental agencies.
The Master Plan consists of several core tasks, including evaluating existing conditions and infrastructure, forecasting aviation demand, and analyzing airport operations and capacity needs. It also encompasses planning for land use, utilities, environmental considerations, and capital improvements. The plan sets forth airport development over short, intermediate, and long-term horizons (5, 10, and 20 years) and aims to meet future air transport demands, identifying facility requirements for various aviation activities.
Aviation forecasts within the plan are developed by assessing socioeconomic factors and historical airport activity. Various growth scenarios, such as a “base case,” “optimized case,” and “constrained case,” are considered to account for potential fluctuations in demand, particularly focusing on Yap’s stable tourism industry. The plan also delves into detailed infrastructure requirements, such as power needs and airfield electrical systems. Furthermore, it addresses environmental impacts by considering factors such as context, intensity, duration, and mitigation measures to minimize adverse effects.
